Toast this year’s 4th of July celebration with a fresh and delicious Star Spangled Spritzer cocktail! This blend of grenadine, Orange Juice/Pineapple Juice, and Sparkling White Wine (or Ginger Ale) is a refreshing sip for a hot summer day. Best of all they are so simple, you can whip them up any summer evening! I keep an Orange Juice/Pineapple Juice blend on hand, it makes it even easier to mix up a quick cocktail or mocktail!

One of my favorite ways to make a drink, any drink, feel extra special is to make a garnish (remember my heart shaped garnish for Valentine’s Day?). And this star watermelon garnish is so easy you can make them any time! Truly, it is SO simple, it takes merely seconds to do.

Step One:

Slice your watermelon and punch a piece out using a mini star shaped cookie cutter.

StarCut Step Two:

Make a small slice in your star shape so it can rest on the rim of your glass.
